Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

Seeing that Gazari looked extremely frustrated after hearing the answer, he continued to comfort him in a pleasant voice:

"I'm sorry that I don't know how to leave, but if I keep crying, I'll become an old man faster."

"How about I play a little poem for you? Although my harp has been confiscated, it's definitely worth listening to~"

Wendy raised her head slightly, and even though she was still in the cage, she still showed an expression of great confidence.

"."

"Thanks, but never mind."

When Ghazali saw the bard in front of him looking into his own eyes with his clear green eyes, he subconsciously looked away and tilted his head guiltily.

Logically speaking, he should feel distressed when encountering such an unreliable teammate in a dangerous situation, but at this moment, after hearing the other party's gentle voice like a spring breeze, he actually felt a lot calmer.

Thinking that the robbers didn't seem to plan to do anything to him in the short term,

He had recovered somewhat inexplicably, and looked at the unbelievably escaping cellmate in front of him with some curiosity, and asked:

"Speaking of which, Senior, as a bard from Mondstadt, you are here. Are you planning to go to Xumi?"

"But during this period of time, except for scholars with special approval from the Ministry of Education, no one is allowed to enter the Layered Abyss, right?"

Puzzled by the bard's motive for coming here, Gazari looked at Wendy beside him, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Ah, am I not a bard? I heard a few days ago that there is a very powerful god in Xumi who wants to move a large mountain range in the country to build a road."

"As a bard, how can I miss such a grand occasion? If I can create a new poem, I can buy a lot of wine in Mondstadt!"

Seeing the scholar in front of him looking shocked, he paused and said a little embarrassedly:

"As for the method to pass the level, hehe, this is the secret of the bard~"

"."

"."

Ghazali was silent.

After all, he was a formal scholar with some basic analytical skills, and he was too tired to complain about what he had just heard.

——In order to earn money for writing poems, he planned to sneak across the river from Mondstadt to Xumi. As a result, he was locked in a cage by the treasure-stealing group because he was drunk. In the end, he simply stayed here because there was wine to drink.

Are all Mond people like this?!

Isn’t it a bit too incredible?!

Seeing that his senior was so strange, Ghazali, who had completely given up hope of escaping in a short time,

I looked up at the sky, let out a long sigh, and waited for a miracle to happen with tears in my eyes.

And in a place unnoticed by the mortals in the camp,

Under some inexplicable influence, the wind from the sky gathered above the pot of potatoes and ham stewed that the treasure-stealing group had high hopes for, crossed the mountains, and blew wisps of fireworks in an unknown direction.

Mount Sumeru, the slope filled with fragrance.

Accompanied by barely detectable dots of fluorescence,

Lin Feng, who has returned to his black-haired and black-eyed appearance, uses the short-distance earth vein transmission ability to travel forward at a relatively stable speed in the mountains at the junction of Liyue and Xumi.

After arranging the subsequent policies for Xumi, which mainly dealt with issues such as the management of trading ports and taxation, he went to have a farewell banquet with Nashida that was specially prepared by the Grass God.

Before leaving, he gave Nashida the special rock crystal flower that could be called the boss of the abyss.

This elemental plant with the ability to transfer earth veins can serve as the hub for domestic road regulation and assist in subsequent route adjustments. It is also a "small" surprise left for some people with bad intentions in the future.

Seeing that Xumi's work was almost done,

The Heart of God that the Emperor had loaned out and was originally used to make Mora was almost due for return.

After going around Huanalana twice and seeing the group of little ones who were still learning under the guidance of Lanmuhu Kunda,

Lin Feng, who had nothing to do, simply planned to return to his home in Liyue at night.

Let’s talk about this terrain transformation.

Having personally experienced the huge bonus of the Heart of God, he planned to ask the old man if he wanted to sell it after returning to Liyue.

Although in the plot, this thing was used as a transaction with Zhidong and was given by the old man to the lady who served as an envoy.

If I were to intercept it myself, then everything would inevitably begin to develop towards some unknown branch, which would be very different from the "perfect" result in the original work.

——But this result was exactly what he wanted.

——With multiple God's Hearts in hand, if Zhidong still wants to achieve his original goal, he will inevitably have to negotiate with Xumi.

In this way, there is not only hope of finding out Zhidong's real purpose from the other party's mouth, but also preventing the other party from doing something weird like Kanriya that would affect Xumi.

Besides the negotiation about the Heart of God, you can also take the opportunity to ask for compensation from the other party.

The reason is the various losses caused to the Xumi country and its people by the fools who entered the country without permission in the winter.

If we can get the technology of doctoral slicing in this process, we can just go to a nerd's house and talk to her about it afterwards, and then combine the technologies of both sides to conduct research.

In this way, with the research capabilities of the entire Xumi, the puppet technology that can protect and restore the consciousness of gods in a weakened state may have the possibility of being successfully developed.

So if possible, Lin Feng would not only want to intercept one or two Hearts of God, but also want to intercept them vigorously!

Leaving everything to others to handle, hoping that a plan he was not clear about would not affect everything he cared about, this extremely passive situation has always been something he could not accept.

——Compared to leaving his fate to others, Lin Feng would rather delay his retirement time, kill the enemy directly like the Emperor, and end all the problems in his own hands.

After that, you can choose a suitable time to enjoy life quietly with peace of mind, instead of worrying about others causing trouble all day long.

That is, if there is no need to rob, then how can other countries' Hearts of God be obtained legitimately?

While Lin Feng was traveling under the moonlight, he was thinking in his mind about the specific methods of collecting authority and the Heart of God in the future.

at this time,

A faint aroma of food appeared at the tip of his nose, carried by the breeze.

The young man, who was about to leave the mountain range, paused as he was being transported by the earth veins.

The smell of food? There shouldn't be any Thousand Rocks soldiers firing at this time in the Layered Abyss, and how could this smell be so condensed and carried across the mountain?

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the mountains, and the cool evening breeze made the shadows on both sides of the road sway slightly.

Lin Feng looked at the desolate wilderness around him that looked like the set of a horror movie, and felt that what he had encountered was a little abnormal. Perhaps it was related to the "evil spirits" in those strange stories and legends.

——Although these evil creatures transformed from the remnants of the devil's hatred have become very rare in recent years, there are indeed many stories that are difficult to distinguish between true and false remaining in the world. The aroma of food that appears in front of hungry people late at night happens to be one of them.

Lin Feng, who had never seen a ghost in person, was naturally curious about this kind of thing.

He raised his head slightly and looked in the direction where the fragrance came from with some anticipation.

This investigation immediately silenced him.

"."

"."

When his consciousness passed over several mountains in front of him,

Finally, we arrived at the mountain nest where the "evil spirit" lived.

Looking at the extremely familiar green figure in the treasure-stealing group's cage.

Smelling the faint smell of alcohol in the breeze, Lin Feng held his forehead with one hand and gained a new understanding of a guy who was not doing his job.

Chapter 171 Wendy: I ​​am happy here, I don’t miss you

Liyue, Woodcutter Valley, Treasure Stealing Group Camp.

Before we knew it, a long time had passed since the Abyss was completely sealed off.

On this dry day, the cool breeze of early winter blew through the fallen leaves in the empty valley, bringing a bone-chilling chill to all living things in the mountains.

After a busy day, the members of the treasure-hunting team gathered around the campfire in the camp. While waiting for their meal, they also used the firewood they had picked up during the day to provide some warmth for their stiff bodies.

"Why is it so cold?"

"A couple of days ago, a friend who came from Xumi said that the weather there is as hot as a steamer all year round, and it makes people want to take off all their clothes. But we are so far away from the place, and we are freezing to death."

"Boss, I remember you studied alchemy before, do you know why this happened?"

Next to the fire, a young man was adding seasonings to an iron pot. While busy with his work, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him, puzzled by the huge difference in climate on both sides of the abyss.

"Hey, can you call that research? I just picked up a few books in the workshop. If I really want to do that, the Mora used as consumables alone will be enough to make me drink a pot."

The middle-aged man called the boss shook his head and did not put on airs when facing the question from his younger brother.

"But as for the specific reasons for the climate differences, I seem to have seen it once, but I don't know if it's correct."

"What's the reason? Boss, tell us now, don't keep us in suspense, just treat it as a lesson for us."

The young man in charge of cooking was obviously curious. He put down the spoon stirring the pot and asked with interest.

"It's just an old book. If you are interested, you can just listen to it as a story. What lessons can a miner like me teach you?"

The middle-aged man smiled self-deprecatingly and did not hide his identity before joining the treasure-stealing group.

After a brief pause, he recalled the scattered knowledge in his mind and said to the old friends in front of him who depended on him for a living:

"Let me think about it. According to the book, our weather is different from that of the neighbors. This seems to be due to the influence of some 'ground veins'."

"It is said that this thing is like the pipes in the ground. The size and thickness of the pipes in different countries are different, and the contents inside are also slightly different."

"I think that maybe there is boiling water flowing in the pipe next door, and a little hot air leaks out from time to time. In this weather, it is naturally as hot as a steamer."

"——We probably have ordinary cold water here. Even if it leaks out, it's almost the same as not having any water. So we follow the sun all year round. When the sun goes down in autumn, the weather will become cooler, right?"

The eldest brother scratched his head and tried to explain his understanding of the earth veins in the most understandable way.

"."

"Pah, pah, pah"

"Wonderful! So wonderful!"

"Hot water pipe? I've never heard such an interesting metaphor. Would you like to consider becoming a bard with me? You are such an interesting person, you will definitely be very popular."

After the boss finished speaking, before his men could reply,

A few words of heartfelt praise leaked out from the cage nearby.

The people around the campfire were not surprised. They turned around and found that the person who spoke was indeed the green-clad bard from Mondstadt.

The leader of the treasure-stealing group could no longer dislike the naive young man in the cage after spending the past few days with him.

Hearing the praise for his "trophy", he just shook his head.

Standing up from his spot, he poured out half of the wine in his flagon as he had done in the past few days, and handed it to the expectant bard in a bowl through the gap in the wooden cage.

After seeing the other party catch it firmly, he said helplessly:

"Ah, I really don't understand you Mond people. You sing and drink all day long. Where do you get the money for your daily expenses?"

"Little kid, you are just too young. If you were my age, you would probably be thinking about trivial matters like food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long."

The middle-aged leader of the treasure-stealing group shook his head and sighed deeply.

Thinking of the heavy pressure on himself, he suddenly envied the young man in front of him.

"Hehe, thank you uncle, your homemade rice wine is really good. Would you like to consider going to Mondstadt with me?"

"I am willing to use my identity as a bard to guarantee that with your winemaking skills, you will definitely have no worries about food in Mondstadt. So, you should not take the risk of smuggling ore and jade, right?"

Wendy took a sip of the wine the middle-aged man gave her, her green eyes narrowed slightly in satisfaction, and she was obviously very satisfied with the taste of the wine.

"Haha, you are a good talker. If I were the only one in this camp, I might go to Mondstadt with you."

"But I still have some spare money, but if these old friends around me continue to live off their savings, then our family will not be able to make ends meet."

The uncle drank and chatted with the young man from Mond in front of him as a pastime.

Seeing the depressed look of the other young man in the cage, he smiled and comforted the two "unexpected gains":

"You two don't have to worry. We just need money at home, so we picked up some scraps from the mine and processed them to earn some money for firewood. We don't have the intention of stealing money and killing people."

"You two were simply given to us brothers because the 'superiors' thought it was troublesome to take care of you. I guarantee in my name, Lao Zhao, that we brothers will release you safely after we leave here."

"As for the daily meals, just make do with what we have. Even though it's not the best food, you won't starve to death anyway."

Old Zhao, who looked like a middle-aged man, saw the scholar in the cage with a skeptical look on his face. He recalled the original purpose of his group's visit and felt as if he was in another world.
